Criticisms on Thursday trailed the appearance of two governors from neighbouring Niger Republic who arrived Kano to campaign for the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Muhammadu Buhari.
Issa Moussa of Zinder Region and Zakiri Umar of Maradi arrived Kano to campaign for Buhari’s reelection. They were dressed in ‘babanriga,’ a traditional attire, designed with APC campaign ornaments.
Salihu Tanko-Yakasai, a spokesperson for Governor Umar Ganduje of Kano, shared pictures his principal took with the two foreign governors as they prepared to receive Buhari in Kano earlier on Thursday.
“H.E @GovUmarGanduje with his deputy H.E Dr Nasiru Gawuna, His former Dep H.E Prof Hafiz Abubakar, Minister of Interior Abdurrahman Dambazau & that of Water Resources Kazaure, Governors of Zinder and Maradi from Niger Republic, & others getting ready to receive @MBuhari #PMBinKano,” Yakasai tweeted.
No sooner had Tanko-Yakasai shared the pictures on Twitter than a flurry of critical comments began to trickle in.
